Let me introduce the evil twin of my Nightbringer Savagery Ritualist. You will find similarities between the two, but as they are twins, this is understandable. Still can’t let go the idea to use Nightbringer as a beating stick, although it is pretty clear that it was not intended to be used like this. The fact that this is an upheaval nonsense is just cherry on top.
This build worked pretty OK during 1.2.1.5. but against Calla it was just barely not enough. Now with 1.2.1.6. this toon got much stronger. More health, DA, full acid conversion even a little chaos RR.
SR: Pushed it to 40, last reliably farmable was 36, as usual.
SR30
Celestials:
AoM 1:13
Ravager of Minds: Minds was already selected for this one, so no options to play around. Decent 58 sec kill. I think this would be quite strong against Flesh as well as it has everything to full facetank it, altough the mega OA shred might hurt.
Callagadra: So far my quickest kill, 1:10, but I haven’t spent too much time with the recording. With crit builds kill time varies a lot.
Very good results but maybe it has even bigger potential? And of course if you don’t not limit to greens Getting Chaos → Vit for Occultist’s flat Chaos and Guardian’s Eyes / Flame Torrent on Wind Devils… Hard to say without finishing the GT and testing of course. And maybe it would be hard to get OA / Attack Speed and +x to Savagery / Upheaval then and you’d end up more or less the same
Forgive me for summoning the devil. @mad_lee What do you think?
I’m not making Beginner Pierce Savagery / Blade Spirits Trickster for the same reason
I think it’s pretty creative, neither me nor @banana_peel didn’t think of using Nightbringer this way. Kudos to @Dantioch for such an unhinged idea
What do I think about the spec? For sure use greens somewhere, probably pant department and maybe like Kaisan amulet, don’t really know, needs testing. I would also test Dreeg’s Affliction relic, maybe even meditation. Chaos conversion - no idea, maybe Lunal belt is worth testing, why not.
There are for sure better ways playing this exact set of gear with Conjurer, but Upheaval one is the most creative ones. Maybe for this to like really work it needs like 3900 OA+. But also being a Conjurer with casts will forever hold it back.
Ok, I looked into items a bit. Not sure about the Chaos → Vit belt because the current legendary one is pretty stacked but Packla’s Skins helmet to break 24 Savagery and mods + Iron Maiden shoulders for 20 Upheaval would be nice I think. But not with no greens rule of course.
@mad_lee: During development I have tested both Dreeg’s and Meditation but Eye came out better for me I think mainly because of atk speed. Also tested Kaisan but Beronath fits better, OA, DA, health and Crit dmg in one piece is just too good here imo compared to Kaisan.
@tqFan: The problems what I have faced with Packla’s and Iron Maiden are:
lose +1 shaman +1 occultist from head
lose CDR which hurts because with the current setup we can maintain almost 100% uptime of Hungering Void (with good CDR rolls)
if we go for OA, which is kind of mandatory here, you will lack health
lose 22% HP, yikes, from 3set bonus, along with 110 OA
the previous two points caused my 20k HP to shrink to around 16-17k
lose 100% ele to vit conversion: do I get it right that Upheaval as a separate skill won’t be converted by Savagery conversion even if it is triggered by it?
It seems to me that we lose more than what we get in return.
correct
Upheaval requires either direct Upheaval conversion mod or global, unlike normal wps
it’s not only not converted by DAR mods, it will actively override DAR conversion if upheaval is skilled without the same conversion mod/global to upheaval
*it is however somehow affected by DAR dmg boosting mods, despite being unaffected by DAR conversion tho
(don’t ask me how that even begins to work out @_@)
Getting Chaos → Vit for Occultist’s flat Chaos and Guardian’s Eyes / Flame Torrent on Wind Devils… Hard to say without finishing the GT and testing of course. And maybe it would be hard to get OA / Attack Speed and +x to Savagery / Upheaval then and you’d end up more or less the same
